it must be installed by a certified electrician

water heart must be installed by certified personnel... kenot simply ask ppl to install..

installed wrongly keno KWISPY'ed while taking a bath, dun blame water heater brand later...

dont play around with electricity

many years back, my family also called a relative to to do some wiring and got burn after few days

on that day onwards, we always called certified electrician to do the jobs

this.

your relative is not the above can move aside.

one question: how to know if he is a certified one?

big companys like senheng, etc if do aircond, water heather
or search online, many companys provide it

my situation same with TS, relatives ask when want do continue the jobs, I said repair done by best friend already and free of charge. Actually I called the company which provide certified electrician and paid for it

problem solves without conflict with relatives

Got certificate lah can check

you already paid him, then tell him to get lost; find a proper sparky

if you can do some basic "proper" wiring, certificate is not a must .. just basic amps properly needed for for certain household stuffs ..

I installed Joven EC802 (quite old model) given by my cousin, but the heat sensor was broken .. I just bought the sensor from Joven factory (Kota Kemuning) installed myself and rewire the back panel (previously I was using Panasonic heater whereby the rear case inlet differs) ..

P/S - I can now do 3 phase wiring, done few projects (I dont have any certifications)

call some Malay guys, u can find in FB's offering wiring jobs ADs .. they're actually good ..

My last water heater trip is because the GND (green/yellow) wire was install improperly. Some electrician they use thick wire but it only contain Live and Neutral...no Grounding

THis

actually can be done on your own if you know how to connect the wires

And know the spec. Dont use thin wire for water heater.

Better find a certified electrician. High current equipment - can cause serious damage to property & life.

Fool you once, shame on him. Fool you twice, shame on you.

find another electrician man .

don't mess with your life .

just pay n move on

Easy, u wanted to see ur ancestor early then just continue to let him do the job

Otherwise go seek professional certified installer

Simply pull wires kah? Water heater could pull quite high current.

U mean what to do with the water heater or with your relatives?
